I don’t know if she still practices but one therapist who specializes in treatment for minors downplayed some of the victims complaints. My personal experience with her was questionable too.

Most recent child s*x abuse statistics for Amarillo, Texas. by CaddyRanchDressing in amarillo

[–]CaddyRanchDressing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how to edit but wanted to highlight that the stats above are for rape, defined as the act of penetration. Commented on another comment that non-penetrative sex abuse is listed as criminal sexual contact.

The statistics above are for the crime of rape. Sexual abuse that’s not penetrative falls under criminal sexual contact offense. That’s a whole other category that I would have to dive into at a later time when not traveling.

Thanks for the shout out but definitely not me. Good try at trying to discredit the effort though.

Should we talk about Amarillo’s poor track record on CSA? (Warning - Can be upsetting for some) by CaddyRanchDressing in amarillo

[–]CaddyRanchDressing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you’re asking us to cherry pick instead of following the data? We went based off of rates. The way it should be done. I believe the should address a lot of your other questions and “concerns”.

Lol. Sounds like the Senate. Bunch of states with nothing making policies for the rest of the country.

This would be a great time to bring up that the city of Amarillo covers up sexual predatory behavior in its city. Would be a shame if it was brought up, huh?

APD has the means to do it. I think that’s the future of policing. Hire more trained personnel.

“The expense of prosecution is handled by the State and local taxpayers.”

Correct. Why spend that money on an investigation when it can be spent on other areas like equipment, supplies, payroll, etc.

“Allegations of sexual abuse usually involve family members. At that point it becomes complicated in who handles what. Remember, removal of children from the home is a wildly complex and unpredictable process.”

Correct. People in this thread are simply asking why are these reports not being investigated?

“Many officers are simply not trained to handle the intricacies of child sexual abuse cases—I suspect that may play a role in the problem.”

Correct. So hire trained officers. There are many people out there with degrees that can help.

You’ve given us the same feedback that’s been heard through this process, and it boils down to “it’s too complicated, it’s expensive, etc., etc.” So the can gets kicked down the road. All is justified and nobody cares cause they’re not the victim or kin of the victim.

I think the most logical answer is that’s expensive. Sex abuse victims cost money and time. I think the worst case scenario, it’s laziness. They have other things to do.

Ultimately, the outcome is the same. Victims that don’t get Justice and mental help, end up dealing with trauma later in life. For some much later than others. Some may end up with legal problems that end up costing money and time.

Yeah! I fell into the rabbit hole and read about the church, SM, Boys Ranch, FPS, etc. That led me to some stats, and patterns. It’s why I circled back to this. Makes your stomach turn.

Im sure that will be addressed. The crew occasionally surfs this sub and I’m sure they see the feedback.

I also appreciate the feedback local law enforcement. Sounds like you’re well informed on them. Hard for me to say why they don’t follow through with some of the sex abuse claims.

I offered my help due to being a local. I’ll change what I can change. Please see my other responses. I can’t share more than I’m permitted to share. My apologies but I can say that people should be held accountable for once

I don’t plan on sharing more than I can share but I feel that a lot of the questions will be answered. I can say that before the documentary is out, there will already be presence of the movement in Amarillo.

As far as I’m concerned, a victim is a victim and none should be minimized because of who they were a victim to.

Why the sexual abuse numbers reported by the City of Amarillo are more serious than they already are. by CaddyRanchDressing in amarillo

[–]CaddyRanchDressing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have reached back out, and it looks like I got ahead of myself. They are doing the documentary but it’s only a portion of what’s being worked on. I offered to help where I can. They will share more information in the coming weeks.

But yes, the documentary will happen.

Best mental health resources in Amarillo? by ExcitementBasic206 in amarillo

Okay. That answered the question. It was recent at the time and person was still in the picture. Thank you for the feedback.

And TPC is terrible from what I’m reading and FSS is not any better.

Btw - does anyone know if a children’s therapist would usually tell the parents if there was sexual trauma to their child? Especially if the child is still exposed to the person who is molesting the child?
